Summary Dr Qadri is scheduled to address a news conference today to make public his future strategy.


LAHORE: The deadline set by founder of Tehreek-e-Minhajul Quran (TMQ) Dr Tahirul Qadri for the installation of a caretaker setup in consultation with the judiciary and the army expires on Thursday, but so far the government has neither expressed its willingness to accept these demands nor has it extended any invitation for talks.

 

Tahirul Qadri threatened the government to implement electoral reforms before January 10 or else face a million-man march towards federal capital on January 14.

 

He expressed his views during his address on December 23, 2012 in Lahore. 

 

The TMQ leader said he had invited all political parties out of which only Mutahhida Qaumi Movement (MQM) and Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen accepted the invitation and vowed to join the march.

 

Dr Qadri is scheduled to address a news conference today to make public his future strategy.

 

It is important to mention that interior minister Rehman Malik earlier met Qadri on president Zardari’s directives and requested him to call off his long march. However, Tahirul Qadri maintained that he will hold the march unless government implements the reforms suggested by him.
